The second Bright Lights Craft Fair at Memorial Hall last Saturday was a huge success. Well over 470 people attended the fair, vendors reported good sales, and the spirit that filled Memorial Hall was amazing.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported this event. Special thanks to the Rotary volunteers and many others who helped put the chairs away after the concert on Friday night and to Dawn Borys, Susan Rogers, and their wonderful TVHS leadership group who were an enormous help to the vendors. Thanks to all the artists and crafters for sharing their creativity and talent and thanks to Charlene Switz and Mary Ann Abarno for assisting me.

Lastly, a very big thank you to the Memorial Hall board for sponsoring the craft fair. It was a pleasure to present over $800 in vendors’ booth fees to the board for improvements to this beautiful, historic building.
